The first of six hearings is set to go live at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday. The first hearing is expected to be a table-setter for the rest of the subsequent hearings. Several members of the committee have promised new and explosive information to arise from the public hearings, but it remains unclear what that will entail. The hearings are expected to be exhaustive but not the final word from the committee. It plans to release subsequent reports on its findings, including recommendations on legislative reforms, ahead of the midterm elections.
